Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is life after death.
Today’s poem is about death as a waiting period for Christ’s
Second Coming.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Death is nothing but a moment's rest
Until the Second Coming of the Lord
When He shall gather to Him of the best
To take them to the place of their reward.
I've felt the power of Jesus in my soul
Shining like a golden sun within,
Melting my hard heart to make me whole,
Burning out the remnants of my sin.
I've felt Him work within me, so I know
The glory that will come when I awake.
I'll sleep just like a child who'll homeward go,
And in my dreams of love great pleasure take.
So do not mourn my death, and do not grieve.
The Lord will come for me: This I believe.
